Surelee Joseph kickstarted what now looks to be the year of the model wedding with her Goa beach marriage to Sujal Shah, co-founder of online clothing label FREECULTR, in November 2012.

Goa was also the chosen spot for model Carol Gracias, whose sunset wedding in February this year to long-time beau French journalist and businessman Samuel Ziza featured both Jewish (his) and Christian rituals (hers). The bridesmaids included models Binal and Pia Trivedi, Diandra Soares, Joey Matthews and Noyonika Chatterjee.

Next in line was former Miss India Shonal Rawat who officially became Mrs Karan Vats in February, marrying her Dubai-based entrepreneur boyfriend in Mumbai.

When it was model and Bigg Boss 5 contestant Shonali Nagrani’s turn to say 'I do' to cinematographer boyfriend Shiraz Bhattacharya, she chose a Kerala resort to make things official.

The guestlist for the Punjabi-meets-Bengali wedding included TV presenter Mandira Bedi and Pentagram musician Vishal Dadlani.

And with Lisa Haydon and Pia Trivedi both recently announcing their respective engagements to DJ entrepreneur Karan Bhojwani and squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya, model wedding season shows no signs of stopping.
